Darkside - a little hint. Whenever you see a Gaelic word with an "h" in it, such as shad, take the h out before you look the word up in the dictionary. The word you will find is "sad" meaning throw. To form the past tense of this, and most other verbs, just add the "h". You get shad, which means thr...

Am bi sibh a' leughadh An Litir Bheag le Ruairidh MacIlleathain ? Bidh i a' nochdadh a h-uile Diluain air an làrach lìn BhBC agus bidh an Litir ann an Gàidhlig le eadar-theangachadh Beurla ri taobh. Ma tha sibh ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig bidh na litrichean uabhasach math airson luchd tòiseachaidh. Do y...

On my screen it says "All times are GMT - 5 Hours." I know that this will vary depending on which part of the world you live in; for instance if you live in Germany I suspect your screen will show "All times are GMT + 1 Hour." But when I post a message the time given for the message is not GMT - 5, ...
